I am confused, why would white people riot after OJ’s acquittal?

and, picture of person with KKK hood on in front of burning cross with caption saying: I am sure Officer Marc Catron is a pillar of his police department and has no racist bones in his body.

This sort of cop is someone we might have called a “pig” back in the day.

Disgusting behavior aside–Was this guy never a kid? I swear: what some guys don’t know about keeping their mouths shut just floors me.

Remember how all the black athletes rioted when Coach Paterno was fired ?

Me neither/ It was the whites that smashed the cars and started the fires.

"The photo depicted a black man with a wad of money in his mouth, pointing a gun at the camera. But the photo wasn’t of Brown at all. It was of a man in Oregon accused of murder. "

Not only is the officer a racist, he is an ignorant racist

Always wondered why the guy in the second picture didn’t have his dink out too.

Hahahahaha!
Exactly. What’s not to like, right wingers?

I guess the pic in the facebook post is missing the Guitar Hero controllers though.

My opinions on social media have really turned around lately.

Knowing exactly what pic it was you linked to?
Appreciate your making the viewing optional.

White people don’t “riot” - we either celebrate-overzealously or threaten-to-water-the-tree-of-liberty!

I’m sure this fine, upstanding peace officer was under the impression that his FB posts would be strictly private.

Too stupid to be allowed to carry a weapon.

Actually, it’s not. AFAICT, TPM’s commenting system randomly does or doesn’t display linked pictures.

I used the exact same method for both of them.

While I get your point, the picture the cop posted wasn’t of Brown, he just thought it was.

Young black men can never been kids who do dumb stuff like white kids. They can never be fearful, only threatening. They’re not allowed the normal rites of passage that white guys enjoy. They’re not to wear styles that they’ll later regret or engage in risky behaviors they’ll later warn their future children against. Nope, a black male is born with all the responsibilities and maturity of a 40 year old man. Otherwise, he’s a thug.

But the photo wasn’t of Brown at all. It was of a man in Oregon accused of murder.

They all look alike, right???
